"They Need To Know"

"They Need To Know"



They`ve taken Christ from christmas
Filled it with earthly joys
Like frosty and rudolph
Even a drummer boy
They need to know that Christ is christmas
They need to know that Christ is christmas
Sent down to save the world from sin
That`s why he came my friend
They really need to know

They`ve taken Christ from christmas
Replaced him with toys and games
The world really needs to know
That`s not why he came
They need to know that Christ is christmas
They need to know that Christ is christmas

Sent down to save the world from sin
That`s why he came my friend
They really need to know

They need to know he came to save the world
Sent down to save every precious boy and girl
Sent down to save the world from sin
That`s why he came my friend
They really need to know

"True Story"

"True Story"



(True Story)
She's a small town woman
In a big time world
She's a mother and a father
To one boy three girls
She got her grandma's Bible
Next to the bills and her purse
With no more options
She drops her knees in the dirt
(She says)

Lord, please help me
I'm lost, don't leave
I've tried and tried but this one thing

Now the only thing I wanna do
Is everything that tore my heart in two
I give it all to You
All I want is You
It's funny everything you thought you knew
Changes when you think your life is through
And your days are few
Now what do you do?
Everything has changed
Now I know that grace is amazing

(True story)
It's been since last August
No job in sight
He's now across the water
Another war to fight
He's made a lot of mistakes but
He wanna make things right
When he comes back home from battle
Another boy got shot last night
(He said)

Lord, please help me
I'm lost, don't leave
I've tried and tried but this one thing

Now the only thing I wanna do
Is everything that tore my heart in two
I give it all to You
All I want is You
It's funny everything you thought you knew
Changes when you think your life is through
And your days are few
Now what do you do?
(True story)
Everything has changed
Now I know that grace is amazing

(She said)
We put a lot of miles on this heart
The only thing I wanted from the start is to please You
To chase You
(And he said)
We put a lot of miles on this heart
The only thing I wanted from the start is to please You
We're running after You

(Every day we say)
Lord, please help me
I'm lost, don't leave
I've tried and tried but this one thing
(This is my story)

Now the only thing I wanna do
Is everything that tore my heart in two
I give it all to You
All I want is You
It's funny everything you thought you knew
Changes when you think your life is through
And your days are few
Now what do you do?

Now the only thing I wanna do
Is everything that tore my heart in two
I give it all to You
All I want is You
It's funny everything you thought you knew
Changes when you think your life is through
And your days are few
Now what do you do?

(Let's ride)

See it's a true story to me
How grace is amazing
It's amazing
See I don't know where I would be
Without grace amazing
It's amazing

(It's not over)

"Up Above My Head"

"Up Above My Head"



Up above my head I hear music in the air
Up above my head there's a melody so bright
And fair
I can hear when I'm all alone
Even in those times when I feel all hope is gone
Up above my head I hear joybells ringing
Up above my head I hear angels singing
There must be a God somewhere
There must be a God somewhere

I hear music in the air
I hear music everywhere
There must be a God somewhere

There must be a God somewhere
There must be a God somewhere
There must be a God somewhere

"Wanna Be Happy?"

"Wanna Be Happy?"



The truth can hurt you
Or the truth can change you
What would truth do to you

I just wanna be happy
But if I keep on doing the things
That keep on bringing me pain
There's no one else I can blame
If I'm not happy
Wasted time but now I can see
The biggest enemy, it was me
So I'm not happy

Cry yourself to sleep
Shout and raise your hands
It won't change a thing child
Until you understand
(Preach)

If you're tired of being the same
If you're tired of things not changing
It's time for you to get out the way
Don't get stuck in how you feel
Say Jesus take the wheel
He knows the road that you need to take
(But it only works if)
If you wanna be happy
(Look at yourself and say)
Don't you wanna be happy
I just wanna be happy

But if I keep on giving my heart
For people to tear apart
The healing will never start
So I can be happy
Will I ever be happy

Cry yourself to sleep
Shout and raise your hands
It won't change a thing child
Until you understand

(If I'm talking to you now say)
If you're tired of being the same
If you're tired of things not changing
It's time for you to get out the way
(You been down too long)
Don't get stuck in how you feel
Say Jesus take the wheel
He knows the road that you need to take
(I feel different right here)
It's so easy to complain
Addicted to the pain
You give your heart, they push it away
(But I got good news for ya)
Jesus knows just how you feel
Just let Him take the wheel
The love you need, He already gave
(But the question is)
Do you wanna be happy
(If you're tired of you then say)
I just wanna be happy
(Now if you really mean that, open up your heart and say it)

Let me hear you say yeah
Yeah yeah
(If you're tired of going in circles)
Let me hear you say yeah
Yeah yeah
(Tired of making the same mistakes)
Let me hear you say yeah
Yeah yeah
(But now's your chance)
Let me hear you say yeah
(Say yeah)
Yeah yeah

If you're tired of being the same
If you're tired of things not changing
It's time for you to get out the way
(Are you ready, come on)
Don't get stuck in how you feel
Say Jesus take the wheel
(Won't He do it)
He knows the road that you need to take
(So easy to complain)
It's so easy to complain
(Come on)
Addicted to the pain
You give your heart, they push it away
(There's somebody that'll never leave ya)
Jesus knows just how you feel
Just let Him take the wheel
The love you need, He already gave
(But the question is)
Do you wanna be happy
(Took a long time but I'm ready)
I just wanna be happy
(Thank you Lord, every day ask yourself)
Do you wanna be happy
(Yes, pull over, let him drive)
I just wanna be happy

"Washed Away"

"Washed Away"



Fill me with your joy so new
So I can show my love for You
This joy I have is real and true
For all my sins are washed away
Yes all my sins are washed away

The pain I felt so deep inside
The tears I could no longer hide
There's joy now cause' You're by my side
Yes all my sins are washed away
Yes all my sins are washed away

Washed away
Gone astray

For all my sins are washed away
Yes all my sins are washed away

"Whatcha Lookin' 4"

"Whatcha Lookin' 4"


I was searchin'
For someone to love me right
Hear me when I cry
Keep me late at night
Jesus came even in my misery
Wipe the tears from my eyes
This is what He said

[CHORUS]
Whatcha' lookin' 4
I'm the One you're lookin' 4
What you're searchin' 4
You don't have to search no further
Give you peace and joy
Fill your life with happiness
Don't you look no more
'Cause I'm the One you're lookin' 4

L-O-V-E love never meant that much to me
'Til I saw your face
I felt amazing grace
But in the midnight hour
When I held my pillow tight
He wiped the tears so I could see

This is what He said

[REPEAT CHORUS]

I never knew love could be so sweet
The joy You give to me
Peace and harmony
I love You so
More than you'll ever know
What is this that I found, that
Never, never lets me down

[REPEAT CHORUS]

What you want
I've got it
What you need, I'm the One you're lookin' 4
It's yours
I'm the One you're lookin' 4
